Abstract

The unlikely estimate of the cost of terrorism. The cost of terrorism has been the subject of many studies about its estimation. If it is possible, ceteris paribus, to calculate the direct and immediate costs of a terrorist operation, the estimation of the real costs of all the social and economic activities that are collateral in the more or less long term is the subject of many hypotheses that limit its interpretation. If the act itself leads to war between two states, its direct costs are only a tiny part of its total cost. It can lead to an economic recession, costly internal and external security procedures, feeling of insecurity and injustice that impact the entire global economy.
